Yes, the Soviets aimed to establish a communist government in Afghanistan during the Soviet-Afghan War (1979-1989). They intervened militarily to support the Afghan communist government, which faced significant resistance from various insurgent groups, collectively known as the Mujahideen. The Soviets sought to maintain a friendly regime in Afghanistan to secure their influence in the region and counter Western presence. Ultimately, the war resulted in significant losses and contributed to the Soviet Union's eventual decline.
The Soviets wanted to prop up Afghanistan's unpopular communist government against Islamic guerrillas.
When the Soviets left Afghanistan, no one "took over." The Communist government that they had intervened to support was still in power. This was attacked for the next three years by the Taliban until they took over.They left in 1989

The Soviets were Communists and Communists are not a good sign. The Soviets (communists) were bold and didn't care about a thing except world Domination which led to the cold war. Anyways Communists always had to control everything and have everything. Communists ain't like that today but they do act like it sometimes.
